The Facilitator

Jon White is a former Captain in the Royal Marines. On 16 June 2010, Jon was in command of 40 Commando Royal Marines’ Reconnaissance Troop on patrol when he stepped on an IED. The explosion blew off three of his limbs – both legs above the knee and his right arm at the elbow. Despite being described in his early career as insipid, a poor communicator with a nervous disposition, he developed into a natural leader with command being his strongest area. His aim is to demonstrate how our greatest contemporary leaders have succeeded through consistent diligence, determination and good old-fashioned hard work, and to make people realise that if they resolve themselves to be the very best, they can be successful and great leaders too.
